GREAT use of Survey PR by the CDC

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a SPECTACULAR survey, ranking states in the country based on loss of teeth.

Also totally reaffirms who people who DON’T live in flyover country consider to be "hicks."

Top ten: (I’m shocked, shocked to find out that West Virginia is #1…)

#1  West Virginia 42.8% 
#2  Kentucky 38.1% 
#3  Tennessee 32.2% 
#4  Alabama 31.9% 
#5  Louisiana 31.3% 
#6  Oklahoma 31.1% 
#7  Mississippi 29.5% 
#8  North Carolina 28.3% 
#9  Georgia 28.2% 
#10  Kansas 27.8%

Although I don’t know what you’re trying to say here (Sarah would have a fit with this), these are all hick-ish states, my friend. ;) Chris

How long until the flacks from Polident, Crest, Colgate, etc. use this in a pitch? At least the pitch will have some teeth.

You obviously haven’t served in the Army alongside West Virginians who thought military dental care was the best benefit they ever had.
